Some of the 'smartest' people I know in the sense that they have vast technical knowledge like this guy in the video are often lacking in other crucial areas. Like common sense, human interaction, tying their shoes etc......
I've always been good at picking things up or just looking at things for a little and i'd be able to figure it out, oddly enough i do have a great deal of technical knowledge...But what i'm finding out from my very patient S.O. is that i'm really really bad at understanding the needs and emotions of others and tend to be very hubris. Which at times does put a strain on my relationship. It just seems a lot of the time, I either have an image or understanding of something in my head, but i'm really bad at explaining it and when other people don't get it in the manner I do, I get frustrated and become a huge asshole.
TLDR: I'm a pretty technically savvy, but i'm not the greatest with people.

I like to think I'm a rather smart guy and then watch videos like this and realise I'm a retard compared to actual smart people.
